The New York State Department of Health’s Bureau of Epidemiology and Disease Control in Suffolk County operates a detailed STD Control Unit that provides various intervention strategies to prevent further spread of infections. Its officials assist with contacts and partner notification and referrals and counseling and follow-ups on diagnosed patients. The unit also coordinates with local healthcare providers, including contacting them to ensure patients receive quality medication and support services.
Planned Parenthood - West Islip Health Center, CityMD South Bay Shore Urgent Care - Long Island, St. Joseph Hospital, and Northwell Health System offer quality STD/HIV screening services.
You can also visit some hospitals in the census-designated place for free STD testing, especially during STD awareness campaigns and outreach events. Still, people will know why you’re there, and some tests are free, not comprehensive.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention1 (CDC) recommends screening for the most common STDs, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, syphilis, herpes 1, herpes 2, and HIV for both men and women. In addition, the CDC suggests women get screened for trichomoniasis.
SaferSTD recommends searching for locations that offer a 10-test panel which tests for the most common bacteria and viral STDs in the U.S. with additional premium add-ons like early HIV detection, if needed.
The CDC2 provides detailed STD testing information as to when you should get tested. In summary, you should get tested today if you are sexually active, never been tested before, have had unprotected sex in the past, or if you exhibit symptoms.
According to the World Health Organization3, the majority of STI cases reported every day, more than one million, are asymptomatic; another reason to get tested today.
You should get tested again in 90 days to rule out STDs that have specific exposure waiting times, including HIV.
STD testing can be a quick and simple process, depending on the type of test you choose and where you get tested. Some may require an oral or genital swab, a urine test or blood sample, or a physical exam to check your genital area for signs of an STD.
SaferSTD has identified preferred providers that require only a urine test, a blood sample, or both without a physical exam.
The speed at which you receive your STD testing results depends on where you get tested. Before you choose your location, find out how long testing results will take.
At-home STD testing results are usually 3-5 business days, depending on the manufacturer of your test. You also need to take into account the amount of time it takes to receive the test or pick one up, perform the test, and ship it back, before the lab can analyze your results and report back to you.
If you test at a public facility such as a neighborhood clinic, you may have to wait a week, if not more for the results, which could delay treatment. If you test through a private facility, they have the fastest turnaround within 1-3 business days.
